What this random picker does

The random list picker selects one item from your custom list. Just paste names, words, tasks, teams or any other options and let the tool choose one for you.

Useful for everyday choices

This random selector works well for team selection, classroom activities, giveaways, lunch choices, task picking, game ideas and many other quick decisions.

Keep duplicates or remove them

You can keep duplicate lines if you want repeated items to have a higher chance of being picked, or remove duplicates if every unique item should have equal weight.

Random Picker FAQ

How do I use the random picker?

Enter one option per line, then select Pick random item. The result appears instantly, and you can repeat the selection or shuffle your list.

Can I use this to choose a name or team?

Yes. Paste names or teams on separate lines to select an entry for a casual group activity, classroom exercise or game.

What happens when the list contains duplicates?

With Keep duplicates enabled, an item repeated multiple times has a higher chance of selection. Choose Remove duplicates to give each distinct item one entry.

Can I shuffle the entire list?

Yes. Use Shuffle list to randomize the order of your current entries instead of selecting only one result.

Does the tool upload the names I enter?

The picker runs its selection logic in your browser. This page does not need to submit the list to a server to produce a result.

Is it suitable for certified prize drawings?

This browser-based picker is meant for casual use and is not an audited lottery or cryptographically secure draw system. For regulated contests, use an appropriate verified process.
